Feminist Pornocracy? Femen and the Politics of Resistant Nudity
Scenes of Self-Conduct
Casting off from the deployment of sexuality under modern biopolitics, the emergent subjectivities knitted between same-sex players and transexuals in Iran reveal networks of affiliation and fantasy best disclosed by psychoanalytic listening. Jean Laplanche's reworking of sublimation allows us to read a fantasy of fatality as evidence of transsexual inspiration in the materials gathered by Afsaneh Najmabadi's Professing Selves: Transsexuality and…
Psychoanalysis and the Postcolonial Genealogy of Queer Theory
In his final lecture, Freud and the Non-European , Edward Said drew our attention to a fundamental contribution of psychoanalysis to political life. Through a reading of Moses and Monotheism , Said showed how Freud's “unresolved sense of identity” is revealed by his desire that Moses be Egyptian. When Said finds Freud haunted by the trace of Egypt at the origin of Jewish identity, he locates a spectral effect of alterity in a text purporting to e…
Reconstructions Revisited
The example of Beirut’s downtown reconstruction after the ruin of the Lebanese Civil War is upheld often as a case of privatization out of control or a failure of civic planning. Attention to the writings of urban policy critics and the literary and aesthetic works of post-war Lebanese reveals a different picture of simultaneous demolition and resurrection that uncannily tallies with the account of hysteria. Through a parallel examination of urba…
Laughing Matters: Defamation and the Secular Subject in the Global European Union
On February 26, 2008, the Council of the European Union (CEU) arrived at a Framework Decision designed to combat particularly serious forms of racism and xenophobia by criminal law (CEU 2008).1 By proposing a comprehensive framework, this decision marks an important moment in the evolution of EU human rights guidelines which, since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, have developed piecemeal a patchwork of principle…
Islamicate Sexualities: Translations across Temporal Geographies of Desire
"Islamicate Sexualities: Translations across Temporal Geographies of Desires explores different genealogies of sexuality and questions of the theoretical emphases and epistemic assumptions affecting current histories of sexuality. Concerned with the dynamic interplay between cultural constructions of gender and sexuality, the anthology moves across disciplinary fields, integrating literary criticism with social and cultural history, and establish…
Archiving Resistance Women's Testimony at the Threshold of the State
Increasingly today, Fanon's imagination of the postcolonial subject of difference is reconceived in the mode of an international human rights discourse along the lines of reconciliation and reparations. South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission has become the paradigmatic instance of a state mechanism capable of inducing the change from nationalist to politico-social consciousness; so pervasive is its influence that Moroccan and Algerian…

The face of foreclosure
'The face of foreclosure' summarizes the central figure of Gayatri Spivak's A Critique of Postcolonial Reason , namely the parabasic trope of transnational literacy in motion. In addition to offering a concise explanation of the rhetorical, ethical and political framework of Spivak's book, the essay also provides a definition of the concept of foreclosure that orients Spivak's reading practice of parabasis in the opening chapter on philosophy. Th…
